Displays include the story of William P. Letchworth, the history of the Genesee Valley, and the lives of the many groups of people who have lived there.

alongside the river to reach Upper Falls.
An active train trestle spans the gorge above the falls and carries trains over the 140-year-old Portageville bridge. Hikers are not allowed on the iron bridge.
